EDITOR’S PICK:
Every relationship faces difficulties from time to time. According to studies, everyone has had a misunderstanding with their love partner at some point during their relationship due to variations in opinion and perception of things, or discrepancies stemming from decision-making.
As an individual who is in a relationship and hopes to make it better, it then becomes important to realize that misunderstanding in a relationship is natural, and when the moment comes, a move for peace is the only way to restore harmony and togetherness.
1. Do not overreact when your partner does something wrong
I quite understand that the pressure and hecticness of one’s daily routine can prompt a person to make rash decisions when their partner behaves in a way that seems displeasing. However, it is still important to be calm and push for peace.
When your partner makes a mistake or probably gets on your nerves, try not to overreact or conform to a violent confrontation. Instead, be calm at their excesses, and later engage them in a dialogue when you are less nervous or calm.
2. Don’t play the blame game
It is quite easy to blame your partner over everything that goes wrong in the relationship, but trust me, doing this will not help your relationship, rather; it will amount to more strife and resentment.
To enjoy a peaceful and harmonious relationship, quit blaming your partner for everything they do wrong and sort out ways to make the necessary corrections and strive to improve your relationship.
3. Be open and true about your feelings
It is always better to express your emotions about your partner’s excesses rather than nursing grudges and planning revenge. Revealing to your partner how you feel about something hurtful they did to you, and how you want a positive change of attitude from them will go a long way to help your relationship.
Keeping mute and nonchalant about the wrongs of your partner might just encourage them to do more, which might be hazardous to your marriage.
4. Learn to apologize for your wrongs and forgive your partner for their wrongs as well
An apology is the simplest way to calm every turmoil, be it in marriage or other social peripherals of life.

As I implied earlier, every relationship has its challenges and grievous times, and when that time comes; only the instrument of apology and forgiveness can be employed to bring back the lost affection and peace both partners share.
